3. Foreclosure Counseling Program
Self-Help Enterprises is a HUD-approved counseling agency. We know that circumstances beyond our control such as job loss, illness, or a death in the family can lead to a loss of income. This can ultimately result in the inability to make mortgage payments causing a possible foreclosure. To preserve families in the community and stabilize neighborhoods, we offer free counseling services to assist homeowners in preserving homeownership, preventing foreclosure and to help families get through the difficult transition period if keeping their home is not an option. Our Foreclosure Counselors provide homeowners with accurate information allowing them to make good choices and help themselves through their problems. Self-Help Enterprises also provides access to an attorney to discuss options related to home preservation. This consultation is free and done over the telephone. During the consultation, homeowners learn valuable information helping them make the best decision about their home and finances.
